I can't get past about 2.5 - 3 hrs of screen on time...

I am having a similar problem.

I get around 3 hours of SOT and a factory reset did NOT help with SOT.

I'm with you, consistently getting 5 hours SOT.

black wallpaper
dark backgrounds when possible
30 second sleep
brightness always low (how I like it)
a great signal on VZ
no widgets
no rogue apps

that's all I do, and I do the usual with some Clash of Clans thrown in with the occasional Netflix movie.

Try uninstalling Tasker and gsam. They burn battery with their constant monitoring. I used them on my previous phone. When I complained of poor battery life, a forum member recommended I uninstall those monitoring apps. There was an immediate, noticeable improvement in battery life. Of course YMMV.

I absolutely love my 6P, but coming from a Note 3 with a Zerolemon 10,000 milliamp battery on it, this battery life is killing me. I manage my wifi settings when coming in and out of "zones" using tasker, manage my location settings when I need gps. Bluetooth is always on connecting to my Moto 360 and car (hah, when it stays connected that is). Screen timeout is set at a minimum and adaptive brightness is enabled. I installed GSam, but I don't see anything out of the ordinary as far as apps are concerned. Do I have to resort to wiping and resetting the phone. I hate having to charge or think about charging in the middle of the day, but certainly willing if this is the best I'm going to get, but I keep reading about some of you getting 5 hrs SON.

Thanks

I live in a signal black hole. I get anywhere from 3.5-4.5 hours depending on what I'm doing that day. I'm at 3 hours right now with 36% left mostly web browsing all day. I leave everything on except wifi/bt scanning.
